  • Bunker Quantity Surveys (BQS)

    Fuel is one of the highest operating costs. We provide independent quantity verification, quality sampling, and ROB checks. Our surveyors support you in dispute resolution, ensuring that what is paid for is what is actually delivered.

  • On/Off-Hire Condition Surveys

    Protecting both owners and charterers during delivery and redelivery. We document the vessel’s condition—including holds, decks, hatch covers, and accommodation—to provide clear damage attribution between charter periods.

  • Vessel Condition & Maintenance Audits

    Comprehensive inspections for various operational needs: general maintenance condition, lay-up surveys, and reactivation inspections. We provide a clear technical overview of the hull, machinery areas, and cargo gear.
